[Background]
Ever since she was born, Yomi has been moving around the world, never settling down due to what is presumably her parent's work and lifestyles. Before returning to her birth country, Japan, for her junior high years, Yomi's family had been living in Germany for a quite a while--long enough for her to pick up a decent amount of German herself. Her parents are also considerably wealthy, being able to afford expensive cars and detectives, and insisting on driving her personally to school on her first day.
Yomi first meets Mato after the entrance ceremony for their first year of junior high, both of them having landed in the same class, when Mato approaches her. Mato, being curious about Yomi after seeing her exit her father's car in the morning, starts trying to make conversation with her in the hallway on their way back to their classroom. While Yomi is initially startled by this, not being used to dealing with such straightforward characters, she warms up to her rather quickly. She introduces herself to Mato, explaining the small pun behind her last name, "Takanashi", and both girls return to their classroom together. From then on they become friends, becoming inseparable in short amount of time.
While Yomi is initially unsure of what club to join at her school, seeing Mato play basketball inspires her to join a sports club, and upon noticing that the volleyball club is right besides the basketball club, she makes her decision. Both girls start hanging out together more often, and eventually Mato shows Yomi her favorite spot on top of a hill in their little neighborhood and gifts her a cellphone charm to match with her own. Yomi, although being slightly confused at first, accepts her gift and promises to take care of it always.
However, when Mato and Yomi reach their second year of junior high, they are both placed in separate classes, causing them to slowly drift apart from each other. During this time, Mato gets injured while playing basketball and another girl named Yuu tends to her, making Yomi feel slightly jealous. Mato introduces Yomi to Yuu in hopes of getting all three of them to hang out together as best friends, but instead Yomi ends up feeling alienated, drifting behind both Mato and Yuu and not partaking in their conversations at all. She begins to space out, worrying Mato for a moment, but she simply reassures her that she's tired and has a lot on her mind. Eventually, it gets to the point where Yomi simply watches Yuu and Mato converse from afar, neither of them taking notice of the fact that she's missing. All of the jealousy she had kept inside of her at this point is what allows Dead Master to take over and posses her, controlling her and making her leave school early and then causing her to disappear from the real world completely and without a trace.
After Mato herself merges with her Other Self, Black★Rock Shooter, and comes to rescue her, Black★Rock Shooter fights against Dead Master. After being disarmed by Black★Rock Shooter, Dead Master gains the upper hand by trapping her in a web of chains that she can control. However, much to Dead Master's surprise, Black★Rock Shooter is able to break free and while Dead Master attempts to trap her again while inching away from her slowly, Black★Rock Shooter embraces her as soon as Dead Master is about to fall down from a ledge (and presumably towards Yomi's death, should she fall down, as she is Dead Master's current host). As Dead Master is a being which thrives on negative feelings, after her attempts at resisting Black★Rock Shooter fail, she is expelled from Yomi's body and disappears, leaving Yomi unconscious in Black★Rock Shooter's arms as the castle they were inside of began to crumble.
Although what happens after that is unclear, by the next time we see both Yomi and Mato both of them have become close to each other once again. Matos invites Yuu to tag along with them, which Yomi cheerfully accepts. However, despite the fact that Yuu follows shortly, they are both unaware to her dark state--perhaps even hinting that their friend is on the verge of being taken over by her Other Self.
[Personality]
Gentle, polite and mature for her age, Yomi has all of the makings of a future Yamato Nadeshiko. Despite the fact that she comes from a wealthy family, Yomi is rather humble, enjoying her current life in Machinami-cho with Mato opposed to her previous life in big cities and several different countries. She prefers to do things by herself instead of flaunting her privileges, finding herself much more comfortable walking and taking the train to school instead of having her father drive her there--although she won't oppose to the idea if her parents insist on it. She is rather intelligent, always getting high marks in school and enjoying Math as one of her favorite subjects.
However, due to the fact that she has been moving around ever since she was born, Yomi has a tendency to be a bit awkward and unsure in social situations. When Mato first approached her, Yomi felt rather startled and had no idea of what to make out of Mato attempting to make conversation with her. Still, due to Mato's charisma, once both of them found something they had in common they became best friends rather quickly.
Because of her awkwardness, though, Yomi finds it more comfortable to have one single friend she can spend all of her time with instead of various friends to hang out with--which is her problem once she and Mato are split into separate classes and Mato begins to spend time with Yuu, who she had more things in common with than Yomi due to the fact that they were both members of the basketball club. Yomi begins to feel isolated, walking a step or so behind them when they are all walking home and spacing out constantly when she is alone with Mato, worried that Mato might find Yuu's company preferable over her own and abandon her one day.
Of course, this brings up another problem with Yomi's personality:
She hates making people worry about her, and thus takes it upon herself to lock all of her problems inside and never speak of them again, thinking that it is for the best. No matter what is worrying her, should people notice how troubled she is, she will simply smile and dismiss it quickly with some half-hearted excuse along the lines of "I'm feeling tired or "I'm sorry, I'm just worried about the upcoming exams". This makes her very prone to having dark feelings of loneliness and jealousy, which only get worse over time due to her inability to talk about them even with those who are close to her, making her constantly feel like an outsider or someone who is not welcome--which is exactly what makes it so easy for Dark Master to take over her.
She, however, values her friends extremely. Despite the fact that she is initially uneasy around Yuu, feeling that she was taking Mato away from her, once she is saved by Black★Rock Shooter and brought back to the Real World, she welcomes her as her friend with ease, knowing now that nobody would ever take her spot as Mato's best friend away from her. Once she gets over her jealousy and awkwardness due to her inexperience with social situations, she is capable of being friends with anyone--given that they are not jerks or give her a particular good reason to be uneasy around them.
All in all, Yomi is just your typical average girl. She loves her friends with all of her heart, and that's all that really matters to her; having her friends around her.
[Specialties/Abilities] None. While Dead Master is a bamf, Yomi is just a regular old, powerless teenager.
[Affection] Yomi is very socially awkward, so she may find herself being very uncomfortable with most types of affection. However, if your character feels that they're close enough with her to try, then go ahead. She doesn't mind at all when it's a close friend.
[Fighting] For this character, I'd rather keep her out of trouble for the most part--since she's just a normal middle school girl with no fighting skills whatsoever. If you feel that for whatever reason she needs to be involved in this sort of thing, though, feel free to contact me and we'll work something out.
[Other Permissions] Everything else is fair play here, I guess. Yomi won't mind much and neither will I.
[Other Facts] She can speak enough German to get by and is a pretty good volleyball player? Aside from that, I will be playing Yomi assuming that she has no memories of her time in the Other World while being possessed by Dead Master, as it is implied that she herself was unconscious during the whole thing.
